And neither you nor anyone else has ever made a cogent argument that emulating the brain is the ONLY route to creating powerful AGI. The closest thing to such an argument that I've seen was given by Eric Baum in his book "What Is Thought?", and I note that Eric has backed away somewhat from that position lately.
This is a pretty outrageous statement to make, given that you know full well that I have done exactly that.
You may not agree with the argument, but that is not the same as asserting that the argument does not exist.
Unless you were meaning "emulating the brain" in the sense of emulating it ONLY at the low level of neural wiring, which I do not advocate.
